SHAFAQNA-
Sir Percy Sykes, British orientalist, said about Imam Hussain (a.s.), “Indeed the courage and bravery that these less number of people showed was at a level that in all these centuries, everyone who heard it, unconsciously, they admired it and their tongues praised it. These are a handful of brave and zealous people, who made their names inevitable forever.”
Brigadier-General Sir Percy Molesworth Sykes, KCIE, CB, CMG was a soldier, diplomat, and scholar with a considerable literary output. He wrote historical, geographical, and biographical works, as well as describing his travels in Persia.
